Surveillance images released in armed robbery

Shreveport Police investigators have released still images of suspects responsible for the robbery of a local convenience store last week.

Just before 5 a.m. June 24, Shreveport Police patrolmen were called to the Stop-N-Shop store located in the 4900 block of Jewella Avenue. As officers arrived at the scene of the crime, it was learned in speaking with witnesses that two male suspects entered the store armed with handguns. It was alleged one of the armed bandits accosted the clerk and demanded money at gunpoint, while the second armed man, stood in watch, while the crime unfolded.

Upon securing money from the store's cash register, the brazen bandits men fled the scene on foot. There were no injuries reported during the ordeal. Both suspects were described as black males, who were wearing all dark clothing, with bandannas covering portions of their head and faces. At least one of the men was wearing gloves during the robbery. Detectives with the Shreveport Police Department's Robbery Unit were advised of the call and responded to the scene. Persons with any information about this crime are urged to contact Crimestoppers at (318) 673-7373 or at www.lockemup.org
